PROMISE

ELEVEN: Girlfriend?

AMANDA

"YOU CAN ALL SAY what you want but Doctor Kyle is hot. Hot to the Tee. With capital letters. " My ears prickled from trying so hard to remain indifferent. They had been at it for a few minutes now and it made my blood boil.

"I know right. That rough and rude thing he got going on makes him even that better." Mildred added agreeing with Shantel.

"More alluring I say. It's impossible not to notice. Sometimes I feel like offering myself to him on a silver platter."

"Hot like lava."

"I wonder if he's just as hot as a lover. Get it? Lover---lava. If you know what I'm saying." Brianne wiggled her eyebrows and I choked on my coffee. They giggled giving each other high fives. I replayed all the episodes of how to get away with murder in my head. Hopefully my knowledge was extensive on getting rid of three bodies.

"Everytime he gives us a hard time, the only thing on my mind is tearing all those clothes from him and... mmhh Lord have mercy. It's hard to concentrate when he sounds like a seduction prince." The hot coffee flew out of my mouth and spattered on the table cloth and on me as well. All from what they were saying. Enough was enough. I couldn't handle how uncomfortable and annoying hearing them say that.

I admit I wanted to forget all about him and move on but that was just yesterday for crying out loud. It didn't mean I enjoyed it when women were all over him like that.

"It's me and you both babe. Especially with that body. Those bulging muscles and that mouth. Damn that guy was created straight from rare clay I tell you."

"I totally agree." They burst out laughing like five year olds on a sugar rush. I glared daggers from one to the other.

"Amanda you've been really quiet. Are you okay?" I gave them a small smile hastily wiping the coffee from my mouth and scrubs. Inwardly groaning at the stain the coffee was bound to leave behind.

"Yeah fine. Everything is just... dandy."

"You don't agree?" I frowned looking at Mildred.

"Don't agree with what?"

"Come on. You know exactly what we were talking about. Doctor Kyle. He's hot isn't he? Don't tell me you don't see it. You have to be blind not to." I gave them a small smile.

"I mean yeah. He's...um... he's easy on the eyes. Of course I see it. He is...okay." They looked at each other before bursting out laughing.

"I've never in my life heard that much bull. Admit it. You fancy him don't you? Who wouldn't? He's a work of pure art." Brianne purred taking a sip of her tea. My face hurt from the continuous scrunching.

"You have a boyfriend remember?" Brianne received flowers and chocolates every other day. Of course she wasn't single. I had a hard time not staring at each of them with envy. They were all so beautiful. Drop dead gorgeous and they were probably Kyle's types. Not to mention close to his age since age was such a big deal to him. I rolled my eyes.

"I know. Window shopping isn't against any rules. I love my man but I'm still allowed to look."

"Yeah looking is okay. But do you think he has a girlfriend. I've never seen him with anyone and I've been here longer than y'all." I wanted to disappear right there.
